At the end of the year.....

I have been very busy this week, because there were lots of parties(?) for me.

On Thursday, there was a gathering with Korean friends and neighbors at my best friend's house. It was a little earlier an Year-end party as well as Chrismas party. Most of them had to pick their child up at coming home from school and spend with their family the winter vacation at the end of the year, so we had a luncheon party a little earlier.

My best friend has been skillful in cooking all kinds of food very much.
She taught an English in my country, but she used to prefer cooking to teaching.
All ten guests were supurised with her cooking, serving talent so fast...
There were many kinds of food such as a vegetarian dish, a traditional korean food and soup, a salmon dish of American style and a wonderful wine each person etc.

All of them were very full, so we went down to the basement with Karaoke and sang a song, raised our voices together to the full.

On Friday, there was a wine party at another friend's house.
Just three best friends gathered quietly to promote friendship advance a friendly feeling.
We chatted of old times like husband, living with husband's family and children's future in a romantic atmosphere. It was so much pleasure for us at the end of the year.
American wine BV, Napa Valley had a beautiful smell and especially matched with salmon salad very well.

I'm neither a habitual drinker nor a gourmet, but I enjoyed the wine to the full, for a chat by the time 10 pm, and then we said good-bye.
